Is pull request necessary?
When the topic of CI versus pull requests comes up, someone inevitably defends pull requests as necessary to get feedback from other team members on changes. It is essential to have a second pair of eyes (if not more) looking at code changes.
What’s the proper order of a pull request?
We have two main branches: master (release branch) and develop (working branch). We want to use pull requests properly. We see two ways how to do this: Create new branch for feature. Implement feature. Merge to develop branch. Test develop branch. Confirm that everything works. Create pull request onto master branch. Merge pull request.
How does a pull request work on GitHub?
Pull requests let you tell others about changes you’ve pushed to a branch in a repository on GitHub. Once a pull request is opened, you can discuss and review the potential changes with collaborators and add follow-up commits before your changes are merged into the base branch.
How to review proposed changes in a pull request?
On the pull request, click Files changed. On the right of the header of the file you’ve finished reviewing, select Viewed. Submitting your review. After you’ve finished reviewing all the files you want in the pull request, submit your review. On the pull request, click Files changed. Above the changed code, click Review changes.
What happens when you push commits to a pull request?
When pushing commits to a pull request, don’t force push. Force pushing can corrupt your pull request. After initializing a pull request, you’ll see a review page that shows a high-level overview of the changes between your branch (the compare branch) and the repository’s base branch.
